Was very impressed with his work vs Carlton... was surprised when I looked up at the scoreboard and saw he'd only had the 11 touches... if he'd converted the shots at goal, it would have gone a long way to cementing him in the best 22.
As it is, it gives some luxury in deciding how fast to rush back Baker - there's no doubt Baker's the better player, but that was certainly AFL standard play, and his speed and *hard* tackling certainly added forward pressure.
I won't go as far as to making rpedictions about his career after 3 games, when after 2 I was expecting him to be dropped. I certainly enjoyed the way he went about it though - and those tackles at full speed certainly get the blood pumping.
Eddy - Love the way he goes about it!!!!!!!!!!!

Early in the year I thought that one of our biggest problems was lack of run:
*Fiora had sunk...and Joey was in poor form.. Harvey was being Harvey but lacked support.
Recent weeks we have had Gram in the midfield, with some time from Sam, an in-form Joey, Jones and now Eddy...and yes Harvey is still Harvey.
*As a team...our run quantity and quality has been at the level required

Yes very happy with how Eddy is travelling i have his training jumper from last year so im praying he will turn out to be a star.
I think the older players enjoy having some young kids in the side that really get stuck into it and especially if they are running the opposition players off their feet! Definitely a bonus for us and will be good to see him in the coming weeks against strong opponents.

Go saints in '09!
